Alerts to and discussion of bad fanfic; general TAT fanfic discussion
Although we're starting out in the A-Team fandom, fic from other fandoms is welcome as well.
The purpose of this community is to expose bad fanfic - and explain why it is bad. This isn't a place to point out stories you just didn't like - they must be stories that are bad because of characterization (These are not the characters we know!), use of tired clichés, wandering (or absent) plots, etc. This isn't the place for bad grammar/spelling nits - those authors are beyond help. The basic premise is that if a story is posted on the 'net, it's open for discussion. Posters must provide a link to the story, so everyone has the opportunity to read it and can decide if they agree or disagree. Authors of linked stories are most welcome to respond.
Granted, bad fanfic can raise blood pressure levels to extremes - but it's hoped comments and discussions can remain at least semi-polite ;-) No personal attacks, etc. But if a story's bad, well - it's bad...
Additionally, this lj is being opened up for overall TAT fanfic discussion - please, no other fandoms at this time. If you have something that's bugging you about it, or something you have a question about, anything at all - feel free to bring it here.
